Does ouzo make you hallucinate?

yes if you don't drink it with water

Perhaps the above was true in the days that wormwood barrels were used in the aging process, however modern brands sold in the US are free from this effect. It would be almost impossible to find, and far too expensive to locate a bottle that had those original and magical properties, it is rare to find ouzo consumed without without water except by a few expatriate Turks and Greeks. Ouzo and Raki are an acquired taste that very few Westerners can adapt to. A single bottle in a home bar or neighborhood tavern might last for a couple of years in the US. It is most often considered as a liability for occupying shelf space.

A mixture of morphine c17h19no3 and an inert solid is analyzed by combustion with o2 the unbalanced equation for the reaction of morphine with o2 as follows the inert solid does not react with o2?

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of morphine (C17H19NO3) with oxygen (O2) would be:

C17H19NO3 + ?O2 → ?CO2 + ?H2O + ?N2

To balance this equation, count the number of atoms of each element on both sides and adjust the coefficients accordingly. The inert solid will not affect the reaction or its stoichiometry.

How to use Morphine SULFATE

Read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking morphine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor. You may take this drug with or without food. If you have nausea, it may help to take this drug with food. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about other ways to decrease nausea (such as lying down for 1 to 2 hours with as little head movement as possible).

If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you are not sure how to check or measure the dose.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose, take the medication more frequently, or take it for a longer time than prescribed. Properly stop the medication when so directed.

Pain medications work best if they are used when the first signs of pain occur. If you wait until the pain has worsened, the medication may not work as well.

If you have ongoing pain (such as due to cancer), your doctor may direct you to also take long-acting opioid medications. In that case, this medication might be used for sudden (breakthrough) pain only as needed. Other pain relievers (such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen) may also be prescribed with this medication. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about using morphine safely with other drugs.

Is morphine sulfate a controlled drugs?

Its a hallucinogen and is commonly smoked on a foil, and comes from the coca plant also where cocaine comes from is commonly referred to as vitamin m or rich mans aspirin

The previous answer is completely incorrect. First of all, Methadone is not derived from the coca plant. It is completely synthetic, meaning that chemists designed it. It's base structure is NOTHING like that of morphine or opium, which are derived from the coca plant.

Secondly, it's main use is in the treatment of drug addiction. During the withdrawal period from drugs like heroin, patients experience a high degree of pain. Methadone helps to counteract this pain, as it works on the same neurotransmitter pathways that heroine does. It's second main use is as an analgesic (pain killer), although this use is not recognized widely in the United States. There is also research into it's use as an antitussive, and also in the treatment of certain kinds of leukemia.

Third, methadone is usually administered as a pill. Smoking methadone usually degrades the product as oxidation occurs. Methadone should not be confused with crystal meth, or methamphetamine, which can be smoked.

Despite what seems to be common knowledge, methadone is rarely used as a street drug.
